Easy gifts for Christmas

Okay so I found this idea on another blog but it's so easy I had to try it. Handmade Ornaments!

What you'll need:

Clear Glass Ornaments
Embossing powder
Heat Gun
Embossing buddy
Versamark Ink
Stamp set
Scissors
Window sheets
circle template (I use the lid to our brads case)
Glitter

Directions:

Use the Embossing Buddy on our window sheets. Take a stamp of your choice and ink it up with Versamark Ink. Stamp on our window sheet.



Emboss with Silver or Gold embossing powder. Flick the back to shake of excess powder. Then heat with heat gun.





Trace outline with the lid of a brad container around your image, leaving a lip at the top. You'll then cut out that line to make a circle with that tab sticking up at the top.


Roll it up and insert it into the glass ornament. Add some glitter glass, fake snow or both.



Attach a hand stamped tag and some ribbon and give it as a gift to teachers, bus drivers, coaches, mail people, etc. They'll love that it's handmade from you.



Only 9 days left til Christmas! Gotta go get our tree. Shock!!! I know!! Still don't have one yet but we'll get it today even if it's raining. LOL.

Fall SUO Challenge

Image
Okay here's my card for the SUO challenge. I hope I get in the top three but I have some stiff competition. I used the stamp set Just Believe and the hostess set Punch Potpourri. Paper: Cajun Craze, Peach Parfait, Soft Suede, Whisper White and packing paper Ink: Cajun Craze marker, Soft Suede marker, Peach Parfait Ink Pad. Accessories: Hemp Twine, Two Step Bird Punch, Scallop Square Extra-Large Punch, Top Note Die and Pearl jewels Pretty cool huh? I thought it came out good. I wanted to add a saying on the card and started by making a scallop sqare with a circle in the middle with the word "freind" in th center. I tried placing it all over this card but didn't like how big it was and took up too much of the card. So then I ended up making a 3 x 3 card for it to go on. Lookie: If you are wondering how we have two sizes of the scallop square I have to admit that we only have one size. But come back tomorrow and I'll show you how I did it. They look great t

Punch art crazy!

Image
Okay I just had to share this card with everyone. I'm very proud of it. It took me forever to figure out how to do some of the shapes but I finally did it. This card was for my friend's husband who turned 40 today. He is a serious cyclist. Every weekend he does 60-120 miles on his bike. I'm lucky if I ride my bike around the loop. I remembered seeing a punch art of a cyclist on a blog and since I don't have a stamp of a bike or anything close to it I decided to do punch art. I found the website (click here if you want to see it) with the image and did my best to copy it. I changed the colors to make it personal. Everyone was impressed by the card. I have to say that I rather make that card than ride 60 miles on a bike but I think I'll just look at the picture if I ever want to see it again. LOL. Here's the card: I will not go into details but if you want to know how I did it let me know and I'll try to talk you through it. LOL. Here's another swap
